Signed up for the Odd Bunch. You get imperfect produce which is still perfectly edible delivered all from local producers. Like a CSA share. It actually ends up being less expensive than the store. You'll have to be creative in using it up, but it's a great option. Link: https://go.referralcandy.com/share/9TSC9RD?s=sp&t=cp
Looks like it's just major cities, which makes sense, but then again if you're not in a major city you probably have gift overgrown zucchinis appearing on your front step anyway.
What months does it run where you live?
I just started, I think every month. I'll find out, my SO ordered it so I'm not sure.
Obviously it's either not fresh (which might be fine for onions or potatoes, by why not just deliver all at once?) or not local at all if it's -20 outside.
I am also a subscriber. While some of the produce still comes from the US, I think it reduces our dependence by reducing waste. It is cheaper than the super market but still more expensive than the local grocers here in Vancouver.
I don't mind supporting small farms in the US or buying their imperfect produce so it doesn't get wasted.
